Global career opportunities
Like other global industries, the aviation industry
can be significantly affected by world events, most
recently terror attacks, health epidemics, volcanic
eruptions and the oil crisis. However, even with
these incidents, all current trends indicate that
there will be an increased need for pilots in the
near future and the college continues its program
of development and expansion to cater for this.
International uniformity of pilot accreditation will
mean global career opportunities. WAAC offers
pilots a high calibre of national and international
training standards and international best practices
based on core competencies.
A career in aviation is highly sought after – not
only are airline pilots able to earn substantial
salaries, they also find the work both demanding
and rewarding. Discipline, the ability to handle the
pressures of flying and the lifestyle, are necessary
attributes of a professional pilot. Pilots have the
opportunity to see the world, experience new
cultures and help communities. Our graduates not
only go on to find employment with many of the
world’s top airlines but also work in areas such as
business aviation, law enforcement, emergency
services, defence, mining, tourism and media.
industry approved and accredited courses
All of our courses have been designed to provide
the highest levels of training for the professional
pilot. Each course of study has been developed in
conjunction with industry and aviation authorities
around the world, to ensure graduates have the
best possible employment opportunities. WAAC has
worked hard to design flight training programs that
allow students to integrate theory studies with the
practical flying phases.
Our courses are all approved, regulated and
accredited by various different agencies throughout
Europe and Australia, these include the UK Civil
Aviation Authority (UK CAA) in accordance with
The Joint Aviation Authority (JAA), the Australian
Aviation Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). WAAC
is also an approved Registered Training Organisation
(RTO), as well as being authorised by the Training
Accreditation Council (TAC). These European and
Australian Government agencies ensure that the
highest standards in student educational services
are maintained. WAAC remains a member of
the Australian Council for Private Education and
Training (ACPET), who ensures that student fees are
protected, giving you complete peace of mind and
allowing you to enjoy the freedom from financial
stress that studying can bring. ■
